Reporting Crimes and Emergencies
The Colorado College Security Department along with the College always strongly encourages victims of ALL crimes to report them both to the Security Office and to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
To report a crime, members of the campus community should call the Security Dispatch Office at extension 6707 or go to the Security Office in Edith Gaylord House.
If you are a student (living on or off campus), you may report a crime to the police, seek internal college support, and pursue judicial sanctions. Colorado College Security is available to all community members, and will arrange a neutral meeting place for your initial meeting with the police and, if you wish, a representative of the College can accompany you. Once you report a criminal instance to the police, the College has no control over the investigation and the legal process that may result.
To contact the Colorado Springs Police Department, call 444-7000.
Campus Emergencies
The Colorado College campus community is instructed to call the Security Dispatch Office at extension 6911 in the event of a campus emergency. This phone call will activate an emergency response protocol. This protocol provides for notification of security personnel, police, fire or medical teams to respond to your location immediately. Also, other appropriate campus authorities and support services that are available through the College will be notified. In case of fire or medical emergencies, the campus community is instructed to dial off-campus 9-911 first, and then to contact Security Dispatch at extension 6911. Always give your location, nature of the emergency, and be prepared to respond to the dispatcher’s questions or instructions. Do not hang up until told to do so.
